So after 8 years of dreaming, i have finally moved into a house where i can build a dedicated arcade room for all my games. It was initially 2 separate bedrooms, but i tore out the middle wall to make it one big room. Its not huge by any means...12' by 24', but hoping i can get at least 16-18 games in there for sure. I already have the carpet on order from astrocarpetmills.com. in the meantime, the taper is covering all the patchwork, texturing and priming.
I i will paint it all once hes done, and before the carpet comes. My first choice was Shockwave, but that has been discontinued for a while now. So i have about 3-4 weeks until the carpet comes to get the walls and ceilings painted.
I am wanting to call my game room "The Grid", as i love the TRON lights and designed.. Im also huge star wars fan, but cant think of a good star wars name for an arcade room! Plus i like the color scheme of Tron. I have attached a few pics i pulled off of google with the color scheme i am going for, along with the retro style looking pin stripes along the ceiling edge. I am hoping to do those in black light paint so it really pops. Some pics are different colors that i am looking for, but have the stripe design of what i am wanting to copy. As for base paint, i am thinking a nice dark glossy blue for walls and celings. I then hsve to decide what colors represent TRON for the stripes going along the ceiling.
Below are pics of the home arcade as it looks today!
I am hoping some of you may be able to give me some cool ideas that i could do to make it look even better. I sm trying to copy TRON colors as close aspossible to colors used on TRON and Discs of Tron. Unfortunately, my imagination skills are pretty muxh non-existent. So if you hsve any cool ideas to paint on my walls, or get arcade decor, it woulld be great start to the room . I for sure need the walls complete before tapers come back to inish it!!
Im my next thread, i will show you the pic thst resemble how i am thinking of doing the walls, stripes. Couple pics
